xxix. p. 39), lie had pointed out that during the breeding- 

 season the female Partridge assumed a remarkable spotted 

 plumage on the sides of the head and neck, which had 

 hitherto been overlooked. At tliat time he had been unable 

 to say in what month of the year this plumage was assumed. 

 It would now be seen by an examination of the present 

 specimens that the head and neck of the female were in full 

 moult^ and that a large number of spotted feathers were in 

 various stages of growth. In the male no change was 

 taking place.
